they sit themselves down and say you have got to do this this way. >> you know, bob and deborah, i'm curious what you think. i have always said the military can push around a president much easier than a republican president because a president like jfk in 1963 called soft on communism because he wasn't pushing forward, if barack obama had done what i think conservatives like pat and myself want him to do, draw down the number of troops, the chorus of cat calls would have been deafening. he would have been blamed for the next decade. >> that's true. i think what my father is getting at, it has to do with the who lost china idea. any democratic president is going to be haunted by that idea of being soft on communism and whatever it might be. it goes back to the '40s. >> who lost china? bu canaan. >> who lost vietnam? >> congress of the united states. >> you know, congress was once that. congress represents part of the united states. >> right. the united states lost that war, not just peace. >> deborah and i are going to go out and get a cup of coffee while this debate continues. >> ev

>> let's go now to cnn's deborah feyerick. what was he like in court? >> it's so interesting. when you see the portrayal of jack nicholson doing whitey bulger, some sajak nicholson didn't play him hard enough, didn't capture the stone cold killer essence that whitey bulger was known for during his reign in boston. but in court, a very different person. he was subdued. his feet and his hands were shackled. he spotted two of his brothers in the front row and the men nodded at each other. think about it, at age 81, his family is all he has left. but he did enter a not guilty plea to all 32 charges against him, including 1 counts of murder. the rest is so monumental in boston because it invokes such a painful part of boston's history. so for many, seeing him in court, there's really a sense of history, at least closing. so it's really interesting, e.d. >> i worked in boston. and people would talk about james whitey july ber. he was legendary. and they talked about just this reign of terror. he was ruthless, he was cut throat, and then i look at this old man who is brought in and e

deborah feyerick takes a serious look at his reign in terror in boston in a special this sunday night, cnn presents "stone cold killer" here with a preview of it. more scary than he was portrayed in the movie. >> i spoke to somebody who knew bulger and nicholson and said nicholson was a little tame in his depiction of the character of whitey bulger. when whitey bulger was arrested back in june he remained defiant, he refused to get on the ground before being hand cuffed and he told one of the arresting agents that, in fact, you did its right way. what he was referring to, was the fact that agents had lured him into the garage rather than arrest him in his apartment. it's possible whitey bulger at 81 years old may have been ready for a shoot-out. he had assault rifles, shotguns, a silencer, automatic pistols, revolvers, 30 altogether. the fbi knew that when they went to get him, he would be armed and dangerous. >> reporter: bulger's life of crime started early. arrested in his teens, he was robbing banks by age 20. his shock of blonde hair earning him the name of whitey, a name he's sa
